Cousins allegedly raped girl at house party in Delhi Township

DELHI TOWNSHIP, Ohio – Officials said two cousins are accused of raping a 15-year-old girl during a small house party with alcohol in Delhi Township.

Steven Lee, 20, and Antonio Leicht, 21, are scheduled to face a judge at 9 a.m. Monday morning on one count each of rape.

Delhi Township police Lt. Joe Macaluso said the men raped the teen, one right after the other, early Saturday in the basement of a home in the 300 block of Anderson Ferry Road.

Macaluso said the girl was taken in an ambulance to Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center, where doctors examined her.

He said the victim was released from the hospital to her parents and that she is “doing as well as can be expected under the circumstances.”

“This is a very sad case,” Macaluso said. “This was rape. This girl did not ask for this. She did not lead anyone on for it. She was raped.”

Police responded to the residence at 2:50 a.m. Saturday. Hamilton County dispatchers reportedly took a 911 call from a girl who said her friend sent her a Snapchat stating older males are raping her friend.

Macaluso said the rape unfolded when the suspects and an 18-year-old male friend of theirs partied with the victim and two of her female friends at the 18-year-old’s house. He said the girls are all 15 or 16.

Lee faces an additional charge of assault for attacking one of the victim’s friends, who is 16, when she told the 18-year-old that the 15-year-old was raped.

This is not the first time Lee has been accused of a sex crime. Court records show Lee was indicted last year on three counts of unlawful sexual conduct with a minor.

Leicht also faces an additional charge in the weekend incident. He is accused of an underage person liquor offense. He allegedly bought the Mike’s Hard Lemonade and gave two bottles of it to two teen girls, including the rape victim.
